Time series analysis combined with transcriptome sequencing to explore characteristic genes and potential molecular mechanisms associated with ultrasound-guided microwave ablation... by Qian Zhang, Guangfei Yang, Ruijiao Chang, Fuxia Wang, Tao Han, Jin Tian, Wen Wang

“…Two immune checkpoints (CD96 and TIGIT) and six inflammatory factors played key roles in US-guided MWA for glioma. ceRNA regulatory networks revealed that miR-625-5p, miR-625-3p, miR-31-5p and miR-671-5p were associated with target genes. qRT-PCR indicated both IL32, VCAM1, and NFKB1 were potential markers under US-guided MWA-related time series analysis.Conclusion The use of US-guided MWA might be a practical method for influencing the function of target genes, regulating time frames to decrease inflammation, and stimulating immune responses in glioma therapy.…”
